Stephen Curry Beats LeBron James And Lionel Messi; Among 4 NBA Stars In Top 20 World's Highest Paid Athletes
Stephen Curry has become the highest-paid athlete in the NBA and the second-highest in the world (after Cristiano Ronaldo) according to Forbes' latest findings. This includes only two sources of income, like endorsements and salary. He beat LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Patrick Mahomes, and other top-tier athletes to come second on this list. Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo were the other two NBA stars alongside Curry and James on this list. Let's take a look at all the stars who featured on this list: Advertisement 1. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portuguese soccer star, playing in Saudi Arabia: $275 million 2. Stephen Curry, guard at Golden State Warriors: Earning a whopping $156 million in the 2024-25 financial year. His income here includes his massive $55.7 million salary from the Warriors, which also made him the highest-paid player in the NBA this season. 3. Tyson Fury, the former professional boxer: $146 million 4. Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys: $137 million 5. Lionel Messi, the Argentine forward playing for Inter Miami: $135 million 6. LeBron James, Small/Power Forward for the LA Lakers: James has reportedly earned $133.8 million, which includes his huge $48.7 million salary from the Lakers this season. Advertisement 7. Juan Soto, the Dominican professional baseball outfielder: $114 million 8. Karim Benzema, the French soccer star: $104 million 9. Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese professional baseball designated hitter for the LA Dodgers: $102.5 million 10. Kevin Durant, power forward for the Phoenix Suns: Durant reportedly earned $101.4 million this season, including his whopping $51.1 million salary from the Suns. 11. Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian professional boxer: $101 million 12. John Ram, the Spanish golf player: $100 million 13. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greek power forward for the Milwaukee Bucks: Giannis reportedly earned $94.4 million this season, which also included his $45.6 million salary from the Bucks. Advertisement 14. Scottie Schefler, the golfer: $92.5 million 15. Deshaun Watson, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns: $91.8 million 16. Kylian Mbappe, the French striker for Real Madrid: $90 million 17. Rory McIlroy, the golfer: $87.9 million 18. Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs: $86.8 million 19. Jordan Love, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers: $83 million 20. Jared Goff, the Detroit Lions' quarterback: $80.8 million Three Of The NBA's Top 5 Earners Failed To Make This List Former MVP Joel Embiid, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, and former All-Star Bradley Beal are three of the NBA's top five salary contracts for the season. All of them earn above $50 million just from their NBA contract. Failing to make this list means they could not generate an endorsement income of over $30 million. Advertisement For Beal, it seems understandable as he is no longer the player he once was, and hence cannot get endorsement deals as much anymore. However, the baffling situation is with Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid, both of whom are tied as the second-highest earners in 2024-25 in the NBA. With three MVP awards in the last four seasons, Nikola Jokic may be on the verge of getting a fourth one this season. Despite him being one of the biggest names in the NBA, his not getting as many endorsement deals in the US is indeed noteworthy.

Dodgers' Ohtani a catalyst behind MLB's increased viewership
Dodgers' Ohtani a catalyst behind MLB's increased viewership originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Shohei Ohtani effect is real. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has not been able to show off his two-way abilities since 2023, but that has not slowed his popularity. Along with other superstars, Ohtani is leading baseball's resurgent charge. Advertisement The MLB Communications Department posted this graphic on their X account: Ohtani is not the sole contributor to increased TV ratings, but he is certainly a key catalyst. The Japanese numbers particularly stand out. His following is even greater in that baseball-obsessed country, and he has recently helped recruit fellow countrymen, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki, to Los Angeles. New York Mets pitcher Paul Blackburn (58) throws to Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17) during the third inning at Dodger Parkhurst-Imagn Images The Dodgers will always garner tons of attention, but their international brand, especially in the Pacific, is astounding. That was never more on display than this past weekend, when their Sunday Night Baseball matchup versus the New York Yankees averaged 2.73 million viewers, the program's highest total in seven years. Advertisement The league has done well to market its top two cities, top two franchises, and top two players (Ohtani and Aaron Judge), and based on the ratings, will continue to do so. Marketing executives are probably foaming at the mouth at the thought of a World Series rematch. The league has also excelled at expanding its audience, implementing rule changes like the pitch clock and increased base sizes. People struggle with attention spans nowadays, and shortening games and manufacturing excitement, such as the controversial ghost runner in extra innings, are paying dividends. Even with other leagues like the NFL and NBA earning widespread media attention, baseball's regionalism is flourishing. So long as demigods like Ohtani are around, the league will be in good hands.
